Metelli ... epistola ad Ant. Augustinum. Only German-printed edition. - Fundamental source for the history of the reign of King Manuel I, "the Fortunate", under whom Portugal discovered the sea route to India and built a colonial empire in the Indian Ocean. Bishop Jerónimo Osório (1506-80), the "Portuguese Cicero", first published his work (based on the chronicle by Damio de Goes) in 1571. It includes an account of the voyages of Vasco da Gama as well as sections on "Arabicae expeditiones fructus", the Arabs' navigational skill, the various sieges of Aden, etc. Also recounts how Mochrin, son-in-law to the prince of Mecca, wrested the island Bahrain ("large, adorned with many magnificent buildings, and very populous, as great numbers of merchants resorted there in matters of business") from the Kingdom of Hormuz, the dominant regional power of the time, and the Portuguese under Sequeire were persuaded to win the island back for the latter. - Title page dust-soiled and relaid; some underscoring in text. Cancelled library bookplate of University College, Oxford, as well as that of Edward John Payne, MA. Ms. ownership (1819) at end of text (William Walsh, "I bought this book at Bath"). Overall a very good tight copy of this book on Portuguese exploration in the Middle East. Main Heritage Shelves General DP604 .O86 1576 Book Item-ID: i16875333 BIB-ID: 1510952 Show less

Venise, Otnus de Luna, Papiensis Folio 104pp, 2 columns in each page, 68 or 69 lines, partial damage to the last two pages , upper part of spine chipped 17th century Vellum, Hieronymus Surianus 10 january 1497 An extreemly rare edition of incunable work of islamic medicine of the XII century. Abu Marwan Abdul Malik Ibn Zuhr (1113- 62 or 1199) was known to mediaeval Europe as Avenzoar and Abhomeron, and came of an illustious Arabian family who setteled in spain earlyin the tenth century. he was born at sevilee. and studied medicine by his father (who held the Ca"nn of Avecenna in small esttem) and achieved great fame as a physician in spain & North Africa. One of the Foremost thinkers of islam, he was opposed to astrology and medicine mysticism; the mysticism tha he was opposed to may be said to have survived until recent times. and his exemplified in the dying decleration of a vererinary surgeon who when pressed for the secret of his success in surgery said; " i biles my tools" Avnzoar who took a great intrest in materia medica and pharmacy, was opposed to logical distinctions" (Donald Campbell " Arabian Medicine and its infuluance on the Middle ages" pp 90-91) "Ibn Zuhr was the first to write acareful description of mediastinal abcess from which he probably suffered. He describes pericarditis, both wet and dry, and diffrentiates them from other lung conditions. while in jail he wrote a careful description of cancer of the stomach from wich his cell mate was suffering" (kahairallah, A." outline of Arabic contributions to medicine" pp 126) Ibn Zuhr's works were translated to latin and were printed repeatedly. His great influance over medieval Europe is seen from his great influance over Arnold of villanova and from his adoption as a text-book in the universities of Europe for several centures.
